第16章 熨斗电话

Paris Hilton went to her doctor with two red ears.

The doctor asked her“What happened?”

She answered,“I was ironing a shirt when the phone rang,but instead of picking up the phone I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear.”

“Oh Dear!”the doctor exclaimed in disbelief.

“But what happened to your other ear?”

“The person called back.”

她回答说:“我在熨衬衫,突然电话响了。我一不小心没把电话而是把熨斗拿了起来放到耳朵上了。”

医生觉得很难以置信,叫道:“天呐!那你另一只耳朵怎么了?”

帕丽斯·希尔顿回答说:“那个人又打了一次电话。”
